Help Revision

I have my year 10 exams coming up and I was I have a 2 week half term before the exams. My exams will last for 2 weeks. In the 2 weeks holiday I want to get in 9 hours of revision everyday, 1 hour per subject and I want breaks every hour.
How long should my breaks be?
Is 9 hours per day enough?
How much sleep should I get?
Any good tips for revising?

These methods pretty go with all the subjects...
Method of revision:
- mindmaps
- teaching others
- recording yourself and listening back to it
- repeating things aloud
- revising with classmates
- drawing diagrams
- making a song of it
- a silly story to help it stick
- making notes from textbook then summarising those further into your own words (try having a limit on number of words to stick to key points)
- writing things over and over again
- using colour

Make a list of all the topics, prioritise them by ordering in terms of which you need more help with/need more time to go over, then tackle each one

If there is something you're particularly stuck on, ask the teacher for help!

Get practise from exam and practise questions! It will help to reinforce things and find your weaker areas.

hope that helps :h:

I wouldn't revise each subject every day it's to much to take in, last year when I was in year 10 I had the same idea and realised it wasn't a good way to go about it so decided to revise 3 subjects a day Monday to Friday and do an hour of each then revise a bit on a Sunday as I found that to much revision all at once was doing me no good x
